Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 1 bag frozen cheese ravioli
Coating
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups bread crumbs (Panko style)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 Tablespoon dry or fresh herbs like parsley or basil
For Cooking
- 1 Tablespoon oil or oil spray (plus extra for greasing and spraying)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture: In a bowl, gently beat the eggs with a fork until combined. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper using a fork to evenly distribute the spices.
- Coat the ravioli: Take each frozen ravioli and dip it first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered. Then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat the ravioli evenly on all sides. Repeat with all ravioli pieces.
- Air fryer preparation: Lightly grease the air fryer basket by spraying with oil. Arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer inside the basket, making sure they do not overlap. Spray the top of the ravioli lightly with oil to help them crisp during cooking.
- Air fry the ravioli: Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 14 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, carefully remove the basket, flip the ravioli over, and spray them again with oil. Return the basket to the air fryer and continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the ravioli is golden brown and toasted on both sides.
- Oven preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Lay the breaded ravioli on the sheet in a single layer, then spray the ravioli lightly on top with cooking spray.
- Bake the ravioli: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Bake the ravioli for 10 minutes, then open the oven and carefully flip each ravioli. Spray the flipped side with additional cooking spray and bake for another 5 to 6 minutes or until toasted and crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the toasted ravioli promptly when done. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh or dry herbs such as parsley or basil. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use frozen ravioli directly from the freezer without thawing for best texture.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer or oven model for optimal crispness.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
- Adding fresh herbs enhances the flavor but is optional.
- You can substitute oil spray with light brushing of olive oil if preferred.
- Serve toasted ravioli immediately for best taste and texture.
